Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs

Introducing...

As is traditional fashion with this pregnancy, Becky and I have enjoyed introducing major events through videos and music. Well, the trend continues. I promise we won't do this for every major event of this child's life, but it's fun watching several of you squirm in anticipation. Love you all, thanks for the support!
